The TIFI Membership Committee is pleased to offer Therapist Roundtables, a Roundtable series designed especially for members who work with clients in various therapeutic settings. If you are not a member, please join at this link and then return to this page to register.

Program Description

In this Therapist Roundtable, we invite you to help us reflect on TIFI’s ongoing project of serving and building community among its members who are therapists. To set the context for our discussion, the hosts will review the history of the Therapist Roundtable series from 2020 to the present. We will share our personal experiences, thoughts, and feelings about the series—what we envisioned and hoped for, what actually unfolded during the series, where we are now.

From that base we invite participants to share their thoughts, reflections, and wantings and explore together the implications for what may want to carry forward from here. Whether or not you have ever attended a Therapist Roundtable, your reactions, thoughts and dreams are invaluable.

Some questions we might consider together include:

• What is the felt need, wanting or longing for connection and community among TIFI members who are therapists?
• While Therapist Circles and Roundtables from 2020 forward afforded opportunities for conversation, connection and community among us, are new forms and opportunities needed or wanted for the future?
• What is wanting to carry forward from here?

In the spirit of past Therapists Roundtables, this Roundtable is designed to promote informal peer-to-peer conversation. All participants’ sharings are welcome and valuable, no matter what level of experience or knowledge you have on the topic.  We look forward to a rich and enlightening conversation.
